Tapping into Freedom: Meditation and Energy Psychology

June 1 - June 2

An introduction to Meditation and Energy Psychology

Energy psychology is the name given to therapeutic tapping techniques like EFT, AIT and EMDR. For example, EMDR is a NICE approved treatment for trauma.

This Summer, Alistair Appleton is giving a weekend introduction to how these techniques work together with somatic meditation. For more than 10 years, Alistair has used tapping with his therapy clients to untie the knots of their bodily trauma. On a personal level, he also consistently used tapping along side his somatic meditation practice to unblock the path of meditative peace and open-heartedness This June he is sharing these insights.

Alistair’s teacher Reggie Ray has said that some therapy may be necessary to clear the traumatic knots that stop us resting in the awakened state. Tibetan Buddhist practice prescribes several energetic practices to do this, but energy psychology offers a contemporary way of clearing the Path.

What this workshop on Meditation and Energy Psychology will cover:

the background and history of energy psychology

understanding practice in a right-brain experience of the body

the somatic foundation of tapping work

the basic sequence of the tapping protocol

opportunities and examples of use

further practice and use

What you can expect on a Mindsprings weekend course

We aim to provide a safe, friendly and tolerant space to explore the benefits of body-based meditation

Some practices are done lying down, some sitting up. Weather permitting, we may work outside too.

Alistair’s training as a therapist is always available for one-on-one support when things arise during practice

We start at 10am and finish at 5pm each day – with an hour’s break for lunch and some tea/pee breaks

You’ll receive electronic notes and a recording of the teaching and guided meditation after the course.

After the weekend, we will try and keep the group together online and with email updates

How to book and financial support

Mindsprings tries to offer good quality instruction at a reasonable cost. We offer a concessionary rate to anyone who is struggling financially, to students and to the unemployed. We never want to turn someone away because they can’t pay. However, the full-price tickets help subsidise these cheaper places, so we ask people to use their discernment when buying a concession.
